On just five occasions in the 53 innings in which he bowled did Wright fail to take a wicket. Against Sussex at Hastings in August, he claimed fifteen wickets in the match at a cost of 173 and included his sixth hat-trick to end the first innings of the home side. In the Test Matches against South Africa, Wright’s aggregate of nineteen wickets in four matches was not bettered by any bowler of either side. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 200.
